Job Search and Career Services

You can start preparing and executing your job search as soon as you have settled into the program.

You are encouraged to familiarize yourself with the services and resources of Columbia’s Center for Career Education.

The center offers a range of services and resources, including counseling and workshops on resumes and cover letters, mock interview practice, a job posting database, on-campus information and recruiting events, and more.

The Mathematics of Finance MA degree is STEM eligible. This means that during your initial period of post-completion OPT, you may be able to apply for an additional 24 months of OPT authorization. See F-1 STEM OPT Extension.
